We are Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele of Comedy Central's Key & Peele, also of MadTV. AMA

Did you really call your girl a bitch? Like, you really said it?

LOL! No way! Never! I mean I said bitch!! To no one in particular :)

How crazy was it for you when Obama said he was a fan?

The craziest! It was one of the best days of our life and totally surreal. we had always hoped he'd find out. But that kind of confirmation was amazing.

Coach Hines, do you still wear those shorts to the gym?

Every single frickin' God Lovin' DAY!!! THEY BREATHE WELL!!

Hey sports fans, something is wrong with Reddit so we are going to re-schedule. BUT we want to share this clip with you it's from tonight's episode (10:30/9:30c) : http://www.comedycentral.com/video-clips/b4ojzk/key-and-peele-preview---bone-thugs-and-homeless You guys are the bessssst!

Hey Reddit, Jordan is having trouble making comments. can you message him instructions? Pretty please.

Also, did Obama say anything about your sketch of his college years?

He has not. We don't know if he's seen it yet.

Key: do you smoke as much weed as you imply you do on your show?

Edit: this is for Peele, my boyfriend wanted me to ask you this and I got you two confused. I fuck up the one time I actually get to ask a question in time!

No that's actually Peele who is the marijuana enthusiast. and the answer is a resounding yes.

How did you guys get your start on MADtv?

We both went through a pretty traditional audition process. We audition with characters and then they just throw you into the fray, as it were.

Hey guys! I'm a huge fan and a fellow hybrid. How did your partnership come to be? Did you meet on MadTV and just hit it off? Or did you know eachother before then?

We met in Chicago in '02 and found we had a ton in common comedically. Being on MADtv together was just dumb luck, good dumb luck.

1. How did you two first meet and start doing comedy together?

2. Which one of you is blacker, and why?

3. Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?

Thanks in advance for the answers!

1. We first met in Chicago. We started working together at MADtv.

2.Keegan's from Detroit Jordan's from NYC. You make the call.

1. One horse-sized duck. because he doesn't have that lethal kicking power. The mini horses would hurt.

Hi Key and Peele! I am a new fan of yours from the first season after I saw the "I Said Bitch" skit on Reddit. Awesome job in the second season so far! Do you have any skits that Comedy Central said you couldn't air?

There really are no sketches that they said we couldn't air. But they do get to give us notes about sketches i.e. what they like and don't like. ANd then we discuss all that stuff.

How much improv do you guys do for the audience recording?

What are you guys favorite skits?

Once you guys answer then we can bup-bup-bup-bup. Full on baby elephant walk!

But really, y'all are fucking awesome.

Our live stuff is mostly improvised. Like 90% we have a vague idea of what we're gonna' say but nothings really planned. I would say Bitch and Auction Block and The Football players are some of our top ones. I love Baby Forest Whitaker more than life itself.

Did you both come up with the idea of having a sketch show of your own while working together on MadTV?

NO. THis idea came up after we were off MADtv. We both had just finished projects and our manager asked if we would like to do a show together. we said of course. Keegan

What's the process like when you come up with an episode? I've read in an article that the author assumes it's something as simple as "Key or Peele walks in with a single idea, such as 'Keegan freaks out when he hears dubstep', and the entire skit is elaborated from there." Is absolutely everything scripted, or is there some improv that has made it through?

Do you write sketches specifically for certain episodes, or do you have a pool of them that you just pull out and apply?

During the filming of a season, what's a typical day like for you guys?

How helpful do you think your degrees were in making it 'big-time'? I've heard many people say that studies weren't as good as experience when it comes to show business, but I'd like to get a viewpoint from those that have completed a rather high degree of studies.

The process varies depending on the scene. What you just wrote about us having certain experiences and extrapolating from there is one of our processes. But we also do sketches that our writers bring in cold. With no initial input from us.

A typical day when were shooting is about 12-15 hours. we shoot about two scenes a day and watch edits of previous scenes that we shot and do casting for upcoming scenes. It's always a jam-packed day.

I think (Keegan) that a degree has been exceedingly helpful for me in my career. I believe it goes both ways. There are some things, technique-wise, you learn in school that you wouldn't be able learn out in the world and vice-versa. Sometimes it comes down to efficiency. You might learn something in training in three months that it could take you three years to discover out in the field.

Keegan, what's like to go from hosting Planet's Funniest Animals on Animal Planet to playing numerous characters on MADtv to having your own show on Comedy Central?

Well, actually Planet's Funniest Animals came AFTER I started MADtv. So I was doing those at the same time. It was pretty strange. Tow completely different styles of performing. And Key and Peele again is different in that it's not as character based as MADtv and SNL are. It's a really "fluid" journey, but an immensely enjoyable one.

Who is your favorite Tribe member?

smo. . . . .Smoky? ;) (you know it's gotta be Q-Tip)

K&P

What's your favorite show you've appeared on and why MadTV?

Key and Peele is the favorite right now, because we get so much freedom to do what we want to do. I had a lot of fun working on a sitcom called Gary Unmarried about three years ago. It was directed by James Burroughs, who was one of the creators of Cheers.

Yes! So excited you guys are here. I love your show! I drew you guys a picture. Do you like it?

That may be the best key and peele picture I have seen yet. Nope it is!!
